At the request of her family, we won't be identifying the third victim of the horrible Boston Marathon bombing by picture. She was a student at Boston University. The second victim was identified yesterday.

News outlets first thought that it was a student named Zhou Danling, but that was incorrect as the official Xinhua and the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post were reporting Zhou was only injured.

The consulate had also announced that another student, named Lu Lingzi, was missing. After the announcement, that's when her family asked to keep it quiet and to keep her pictures out of the press.

It's now confirmed that the remains found near the LearJet crash site believed to be those of Mexican American icon Jenni Rivera have officially been identified, and were turned over to her grieving family Thursday.

Jenni Rivera has indeed passed away.

More harrowing details of this tragic event continue to surface; earlier today we learned that police involved in the investigation have allegedly been stealing items belonging to the victims of the crash…

And now Mexican authorities are claiming the plane went into a tailspin and dropped from 28,000 ft, before crashing in the northern region of Mexico's Sierra Madre Oriental.

This was almost too sad to write about, but we're hoping with more information spread, the more help authorities will get to finding Jessica Ridgeway's brutal murderer.

The ten-year-old disappeared October 5 on her way to see some friends at the park.

That same weekend, her backpack was found in a residential area of Superior, Colorado. One week later, her mutilated remains are identified after being found in a park seven miles from her house.

Westminster police chief Lee Birk said in a statement:

We still can't get over how sickeningly tragic this whole thing is.

And with more and more coming out, it only gets worse.

We reported earlier on Rudy Eugene, the Miami man who was shot dead by police when he discovered naked and eating the face off of another person, and sadly, we now know the victim to be 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, a homeless man who is now fighting for his life at Jackson Memorial Hospital with nothing but his lips, beard, and chin left.

More bizarre, however, is the information slowly coming out about the 31-year-old perpetrator, a majority of which is from his former classmates at North Miami Beach High School, who knew him as an "easy-going" young man who stayed out of trouble until he later began experimenting with drugs.

This case is gory and just plain icky.

We previously mentioned a severed head and hands were found in the Hollywood Hills near the Hollywood sign.

Well authorities have finally identified the body parts, but haven't released a name.

They still aren't sure what happened.

A police spokesperson said:

"Right now, we're keeping an open mind … on why this poor person was dismembered and deposited up there."

Hopefully this will lead to the capture of the person responsible for this disgusting act.

This is HORRIFYING!

Poor Halle Berry went through hell this weekend after she spotted a man lurking in her backyard not once, but TWICE, and believe it or not, he reportedly came back AGAIN last night!

But thankfully, he was apprehended and arrested!

According to authorities, the man, now identified as Richard Franco, was spotted jumping over the back wall of the actress' property around 11pm last night. Her private security team quickly caught the 27-year-old and contacted the LAPD, who booked him on suspicion of felony stalking!

Phew!

We're just glad that this man, who is clearly not well, was taken off the streets, and that no one was harmed in the process!

So scary!
